It wasn't like this in my last life

Prince Rui came back to his senses, and was pulled into his seat by Prince Jing.

Song Xi was worried about Song Badai and had no intention of fighting against Prince Rui, so the two drank a glass of wine lukewarm.Prince Rui was absent-minded while holding the wine glass, and left early after not sitting for long.

It seems that Prince Gong and Song Xi don't see each other naturally, and when they see each other, they poke a few words at each other.At this time, no one else was there, and the two of them didn't bother to socialize anymore, they were drinking and thinking about their own affairs.Suddenly, Prince Gong stopped, stood up, and left in a hurry without saying hello to Song Xi.

When Song Badai came back after changing his clothes, he found that Prince Rui had left, and even Prince Gong was not there.He was always on tenterhooks, fearing that something might happen, so he didn't eat much.At this moment, my mind was at ease, I took a look at the delicious food on the table, thinking that after all, I gave away a lot of good things, and I ate a little bit back, so I picked up the chopsticks and ate it.

Song Xi watched him eat with a funny face, adding more food to him from time to time.One eats one clip, the fit is perfect.After he finished eating, Song Xi quietly squeezed his hand under the table, indicating that they can also withdraw after the three rounds of wine.

Seeing that it was almost time, Song Xi got up and pleaded guilty to King Jing, and the two came out early.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Lu Guogong called Song Xi over to talk.Song Badai's footsteps were slippery. He had just drank two glasses of wine and was slightly drunk. He walked along the winding path alone, stumbling along the way.

"Third cousin." A clear and gentle female voice sounded, Song Badai was startled, and saw Aqiao when he raised his eyes.

"Cousin Aqiao, did I go wrong? I'm really sorry, I didn't look at the road at the moment..." Song Badai turned around quickly, and Aqiao called him from behind, "Third cousin, you didn't go wrong, I came here specially Looking for you."

Song Badai's old face was burning hot, he turned around and turned back, invited Aqiao to take a seat, and hurriedly called the maid to serve tea, and went to the clean room to freshen up before coming out.

"Is there something important that Cousin Aqiao wants me to do?"

Aqiao smiled, "It's not a big deal. Today, my mother went to the shop. I had nothing to do alone, so I tried to make some snacks for the old lady. This is extra. I hope you and the second cousin don't worry about it." It's good to be disgusted."

Song Badai twisted a piece and tried it, and it tasted very good, similar to the ones Xinghua made for him when he was in the Song family. "It's really delicious. My cousin learned the craft from my aunt, right?"

Aqiao nodded, "That's right, and my mother learned it from my grandmother." When the two talked about the past, they immediately drew a lot closer.

Song Badai finally couldn't help asking her, "Ah Qiao, don't blame your cousin for being troublesome. What's going on in your family? Why did you want Second Aunt, a weak girl, to come all the way to Beijing?"

Aqiao sighed and said: "I didn't intend to deceive the two cousins, it's really a family shame. Today my cousin asked me, so I will talk too much. My cousin must know that my mother only gave birth to our sisters." There are three of them, the father is self-proclaimed romantic, and the concubines in the family are carried out one by one. I have five or six brothers and sisters alone. It was okay before, and my mother was the head of the house, and she was the master. In recent years As the concubine brothers got older, they fought fiercely over the family's business idea. No, troubles arose, and my father didn't care about anything. If it wasn't for me, why would my mother have to come to Beijing alone? ?!"

Song Badai used to know about some troubles in the second aunt's family, but he didn't expect it to reach this point.Aqiao is so smart and sensible, she must have been cultivated after a lot of training.For a while, Song Badai felt a little sympathetic to her. "Ah Qiao, Axi and I were not able to help you much in the past. Now that you have come to the capital, the old lady loves you, and Axi will be appointed as a prince in the future. Don't say anything else, people who bully you There won’t be any more, so you can live here with peace of mind.”

A-Qiao nodded slightly, and said shyly, "Third Cousin has to be troubled for everything." She lowered her head, revealing a section of her fair neck.

Song Badai was slightly surprised, lowered his head to drink tea and eat snacks, thinking that he was thinking about it?When she entered the mansion for the first time, Aqiao was obviously closer to Song Xi.

He didn't answer, but Ah Qiao was taken aback for a moment, and said a little awkwardly: "Third cousin, my mother and I plan to go to pilgrimage tomorrow, one is because I heard that this Lianyun Temple is very efficacious, and the other is to pray for the safety of the elders in the family. It's also good, and the second is to accompany my mother to relax. I don't know if my cousin wants to go together?"

Let's take a break... Song Badai remembered that due to the gift of marriage in the past few days, Song Xi was also in a low mood, and it was good to go to relax, so he nodded and agreed. Just as he was about to mention Song Xi, he saw him striding forward Come in, "I just heard that you are going to accompany Second Aunt to relax. I happen to be free tomorrow, so I might as well go together. Cousin welcome?"

Aqiao was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up to bless her, "What did the second cousin say? I invited the two cousins ​​to go together. I was just worried that the second cousin would not be free, so I told the third cousin first." It's gone." Looking at the sky, "It's getting late, I'll take my leave first."

Song and Eight Dynasties sent it out.

Looking back, I saw Song Xi sitting where Aqiao was sitting just now, lowering her head and fiddle with the snacks on the table.

"Is this from Ah Qiao?" She twisted a piece and put it in her mouth, the sweetness was a bit cloying.However, their Xiaoba likes sweets, and this is specially made for him.

Song Badai nodded, "Ah Qiao made it with her own hands, and we are also in the honor of the old lady. But I really didn't expect that Ah Qiao has such a good cooking skill at such a young age."

Song Xi didn't finish a piece of dim sum and threw it on the plate—it was too sweet.Hearing Song Badai's words, he suddenly became sour, "I still don't believe you are stupid. Grandma's teeth are already bad. She won't even take a second look at such sweet and sticky snacks, so you like to eat them. Ah Qiao said that, It’s just that I’m afraid you’ll refuse, idiot!”

Song Badai withdrew his hand holding the dim sum, and looked at Song Xi uncertainly, "Really? Don't you fool me?" If this is the case, then he really dare not eat this dim sum.

Seeing that he really didn't mean that, Song Xi felt a little relieved, but she didn't want to point it out, "After all, this is the capital, and they are not familiar with the place where they live, so they probably wanted you to take care of them more, so they specially made snacks here. "And tentatively asked: "Ah Qiao said anything else?"

Song Badai suddenly realized, "So that's the case, no wonder, Aqiao talked about the family affairs, the second aunt and the others are really having a hard time. Second brother, I don't think we can eat this snack for nothing. You can send a housekeeper in two days." Go over and see what kind of trouble they have caused, and help as much as you can."

Song Xi nodded, and he raised his vigilance three points in his heart. This man is always easy to be loved by pity, and Song Xiaoba is soft-hearted, so he will pass by after being coaxed.No, we must follow closely tomorrow.

Seeing that he agreed, Song Badai was satisfied, and immediately put the matter behind him, and began to plan tomorrow's trip. "Why don't the old matriarchs also go together?" Prince Gong also mentioned Lianyun Temple this morning, it can be seen that there is a great reputation there, the old matriarch is always bored in the mansion, so it's good to go out for a walk.

Seeing his high spirits, Song Xi became interested, "I'll go talk to my grandfather, and if he agrees, we'll go together."

Just do what you say, Song Xi immediately went to the study to ask Lu Guogong for instructions, Song Wenfei and Song Dan were also there, Song Xi simply invited them together.Lu Guogong nodded, "Then let's go together, but Wen Fei wants to stay, I have something to tell you to do. Xi, your grandmother is getting old, so you should send more people to follow when the time comes, and you should pay more attention."

"Yes."

After the date was finalized, Song Xi and Song Badai went to the old lady and told her the good news.The old matriarch was overjoyed at the moment, she guessed that she would not be able to go, and wanted to ask Song Wanqing to ask for a peace talisman for the Duke and Song Wenfei for her, but Duke Lu actually let go.

"Good boy, grandma wants to reward you..." The old lady fumbled and wanted to move her eight treasure box, but Song Xi hurriedly stopped her.The old lady was as happy as a child, and she used half a bowl of extra rice for dinner. Before she went to sleep, she told her mother that she would wake her up earlier in the morning.

In the early morning of the second day, the old matriarch brought two accompanying mothers, three big maids and two young maids who ran errands, and Song Xi sent most of the guards there. Three carriages were installed here alone. I want to bring a cook who makes dim sum. There is a large area of ​​sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the back of Lianyun Temple. I said that I will borrow the kitchen of Lianyun Temple to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.

A Qiao hurriedly said that she would do it.

Satisfied, the old lady stopped whining, waved her hand, and set off.

Song Dan led the way ahead, and Song Xi and Song Badai were at the back, walking slowly on horseback.It was almost noon when we arrived at Lianyun Temple.Fortunately, there were not many pilgrims in Lianyun Temple today, and the crowd surrounded the old lady all the way into the Hall of Heavenly Kings. After paying homage to various bodhisattvas, they walked around the back mountain of the temple.

The old lady is already a little tired.The abbot of the temple arranged a wing room for them, facing the sweet-scented osmanthus forest, where they could sit by the window and enjoy the flowers while making tea.The old lady and Song Wanqing were drinking tea and talking, but they were unwilling to move. "You go out for a walk, don't stay in the house with my old lady. You guys, Axi, take better care of Aqiao."

Song Xi couldn't hold back for a long time, and took them out after saluting.Including Song Dan, there were a total of four people, Song Xi quickly divided into two groups, handed Aqiao to Song Dan, and gave him a wink, "Brother can only help you here, be more confident." Eight generations escaped.

Running all the way, Song Badai was out of breath, but with respect on his face, "Second Brother, I see you looking coldly at Brother Song Dan on weekdays. I didn't expect you to be thinking about him all the time, but I misunderstood you."

After getting rid of two rivals in love at once, and gaining Song Xiaoba's admiration, Song Xi said that he really couldn't be more witty.
